Question: What, besides serious divatude, do Aretha Franklin and Loretta Lynn have in common?
Answer: They've both called off multiple concert dates in the Triangle.
Yes, it's true. Lynn's DPAC show, originally scheduled for Oct. 23 but postponed due to illness to this Sunday, has been postponed again. Details as to why remain unconfirmed; and at this point, I don't have a firm reschedule date more specific than "sometime in April."
I'll post details once I get them. Meantime, all I have to say is, argh...
UPDATE: Still nothing about the reasons for the postponement, but the rescheduled date is April 7.
ADDENDUM (1/5/12): Barry Saunders weighs in.

Loretta has been very active and stayed true to her roots music. Very Johnny Cash like, in that she has kept honing her craft - writing singing and producing. Her amazing collaberations with Jack White (and the year she worked with him) are already legendary. Her motherly love and respect for all mankind still shine through with this true jewel of American music.
It's me again...
Wed, 01/04/2012 - 10:35 — outhousecatSince you deleted my comment from yesterday, I'll say it again. You need to learn some respect. Loretta Lynn is not a diva. She's one of the original country music stars. She's also about 80 years old and things are going to come up that cause her to have to cancel shows. What you wrote is disrespectful, not funny.
Loretta Lynn is my favorite country singer, but....

Argh .....
